Abstract - A few X-ray diagnostics for laser matter interaction experiments.
Since the early 1990s, advances in laser-driven inertial confinement fusion research have been on the rise. This report provides a description of the experimental techniques which are used to study the interaction of laser light with matter and high density plasmas. To understand the physical processes involved in this interaction, we need high performance instrumentation (diagnostics) for the observation of X-ray radiation in the energy range from a few eV to a few keV. This paper is divided into three chapters: the first part describes the metrology of the diagnostics developed around various X-ray sources (synchrotron, laser-produced-plasmas, ...), the second part synthesizes theoretical and experimental X-ray optics studies. It shows the interest for applications such as X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray imaging, the third part is a review of the use of advances X-ray imaging diagnostics in laser-produced plasma physics experiments.


Résumé
Ce rapport est une revue de travaux réalisés au CEA/DAM de 1990 à 1999, dans le cadre de la fusion thermonucléaire inertielle par laser. Il est relatif aux techniques expérimentales utilisées pour l'étude de l'interaction du rayonnement laser avec la matière et des plasmas à très haute densité d'énergie. La compréhension de cette physique a nécessité le développement d'une instrumentation de premier plan notamment de diagnostics dans le domaine des rayons X. Il est articulé en trois chapitres : la première concerne la métrologie de ces diagnostics réalisée auprès de différentes sources de rayonnement X (synchrotron, plasma laser, tube RX...), la seconde synthétise les études théoriques et expérimentales d'optiques RX et montre comment ces optiques ont trouvé des applications directes en instrumentation X (spectroscopie, imagerie) auprès des lasers, la troisième est une revue des diagnostics marquants d'imagerie, de radiographie X, ayant un intérêt pour la physique des plasmas, à travers quelques expériences.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
